His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 926

Thaddeus couldn't bear the thought of letting Elvis face danger alone. In no time, he was geared up and had reached out to Aaron and Gordon, ready to make a dash for The Velvet Haven. They had to back up Elvis and rescue Elsie! That girl was their undercover ally, and also the future sister-in-law to him and Evadne. It was both a matter of principle and emotion. He had to do everything in his power to save her; standing by was not an option!

Before leaving, Thaddeus's heart lingered on his darling. He tiptoed back to the bedroom, knelt by the bed, and tenderly ran his fingers through her soft hair, planting kisses on her forehead, the tip of her nose, and her lips...

"Mmm...Thaddeus...don't go..." Evadne's feathery lashes trembled, her lips slightly parted, mumbling in a dreamy haze.

Thaddeus's breath grew deeper, more heated. His warm palm gently caressed his lover's cheek, his heart pounding wildly, his chest rising and falling. He couldn't bear to look any longer. Another glance, and leaving would become even harder.

"Darling, sleep well. When you open your eyes tomorrow morning, I'll be the first thing you see."

...

Armed with the evidence provided by Elvis, Aaron secured an arrest warrant from the higher-ups and led his team straight to The Velvet Haven! The crescent moon hung low, the night air crisp and clean. The Velvet Haven was eerily quiet, a stark contrast to its usual bustling self!

Thaddeus and Elvis were the first to arrive, bracing for a tough battle to breach Avery's stronghold. But to their surprise, the den of iniquity was shrouded in darkness, not just closed for the night, but devoid of any bouncers at the door!

Elvis set the lock pick against the door, and after a brief operation, the hefty steel door swung open with a thud. Inside, the darkness was oppressive, like the path to the underworld. Elvis gritted his teeth, about to take a step forward when Thaddeus stepped ahead of him. Looking at Thaddeus's towering, mountain-like figure, Elvis felt a warmth in his eyes. Thaddeus, with his wholehearted devotion, protected Evadne and her family. In this moment, he didn't hesitate to walk ahead of Elvis, ready to face any danger on his own. Just like that time on Star Island, and now again!

Elvis clenched his gun tightly, moving slowly alongside Thaddeus deeper into the darkness. The further they went, the more something felt off.

"What's going on? Even if it's closed today, it shouldn't be completely deserted, right?"
